For it is the duty of the good man to teach others the good that you could not work because of the malignity of the times or of fortune, so that when many are capable of it, someone of them more loved by heaven will be able to work it.

Further Reading / Listening

A few things to note for those in search of summer reading and listening:

1. Filozofski VestnikInternational Edition is online with downloadable PDFs; I'm currently going to be reading through the issue on 'Nothing' although I can also recommend the issue on 'Radical Philosophy?'.

2. 21st Century materialism MP3s from Zagreb - I've been slowly catching up on these, one of the ironies is that no one really seems to be a materialist...

3. Peter Hallward's article on the 'Will of the People' from RP, pdf here (thanks to Daily Humiliation for bringing this to my attention - I bought the issue (I'm not always cheap)).

Damn you for these links. Now there are things I want to read and listen to that are not the grindstone against which I'm pushing myself. In other words, it is neither a torrent of Michael Jackson's Captain EO nor a book about anarchist terrorism.

Michael, yes it was strange, I've listened to the discussion MP3s but felt there was hardly any enthusiasm for any form of materialism, Marxian, scientific, or otherwise. As (still) a base materialist myself I felt a little support for materialism wouldn't have gone amiss...

Evan, well I can't understand the attraction of MJ and I'd wait for Mike Davis on anarchist terrorism...

I'm 'lucky' enough to be suffering from summer super-ego inspired boredom / anxiety which forces on me a constant diet of reading to stave off the void of my existence (a boring, dull void as well)
